Complete Honesty
Being loved is prominent
in the fantasies of youth.
Yet, without hugs and kisses,
anxieties grow acute.
Bravado and hope fuel
flights of imagination.
Yet unable to find love,
you chase after lust instead.
But when loneliness lingers,
you feel something has to change.
And slowly realize love
calls for complete honesty.
Love cannot thrive chained to tears;
half-truths, or outright deceit.
For doubt is never neutral,
when it's all you've ever felt.
